So maybe absolutely horrible was a little harsh. He hardly was impressive.I like Chris Wilson and think he could be a good fighter but if your going to be next in line for a title shot you should be able to take him a little more easily. I would love to see what he would do to Matt Hughes. |

I like Rothwell and think he has the potential to be a top ten fighter but he isn't right now, and how is Chuck Liddell #2 at LHW? I also don't think Cro Cop should be in the top ten but besides that I guess they are ok but not as good as your guys rankings  |

Those are pretty decent, I only completely disagree wtih 2 things. 1. Rothwell is not a top 10 heavyweight until he actually fights someone whose top 10 2. BJ Penn is NOT the number one LW until he too actually beats someone in the top 10.
Otherwise those are pretty good. |

The Rothwell thing is what really bugged me, and even though he is one of my favorite fighters BJ isn't the #1 LW yet |

Yup, heres the dilemma with many of the the weight divisions today. You get guys who havn't fought at all, or havn't fought for years in the weight class become contenders or champions based solely on their name.
Like BJ did nothing at LW to get the crown after dropping back after 3-4 years and now he has to be considered #1? Same with Sherk, theyre both in the same boat.
Then thats when the debate about what you base the rankings come into play, is it based on their skill, or accomplishment?

HW rankings are shit. Nog above Fedor? Fedor has stolen candy from that baby 2 and 1/2 times. Funny and simply pathetic. Crocop isnt in top 10? Kongo in the top 10?
I feel ashamed, i hope everyone skips the HW rankings. I think sherdog has better rankings for that division for God's sakes. The other seems decent.
Edit: Wamma rankings have the right idea. Other than Rothwell imo.
